NEWSPAPERARCHIVE STILL NOT WORKING?
...
NewspaperArchive declares that it has just digitized the San Antonio Express
from 1939-1956. Excellent...if the search engine works.
...
So how come I can't find the "Nachos Especiales" that managing editor Julian
Cross enjoyed during WWII? How come I can't find any "nacho" at all during
this time period? Or even a single "burrito" from 1939-1956??
...
A simple check for "New Braunfels" (a Texas city close to San Antonio) for
1939-1956 turns up zero hits in the entire NewspaperArchive???? (A Google News
Archives search for the same query shows many NewspaperArchive hits. Where'd
they go?)
...
I know the NewspaperArchive search engine is screwing up, but this is
ridiculous.

A Taste of Texas
by Jane Trahey
New York: Random House
1949
Pg. 27:
There’s a little restaurant in the small Mexican town of Villa Acuna that
serves some of the finest food in the world. For part of World War II, Mr.
Julian Cross, managing editor of the San Antonio Express, was stationed on the
Rio Grande border. One night a small group of officers, one terribly homesick,
decided to visit Pedro, their favorite waiter there. Like all Latins, Pedro
just couldn’t stand unhappiness. He did everything but stand on his head to
cheer his morose uniformed guest. When nothing, including the Martinis,
worked, Pedro left. Sometime later he returned carrying a large dish of Nachos
Especiales. “These Nachos,” said Pedro, “will help El Capitan—soon he will
forget his troubles for nachos make one romantic.”
